Accidentally Filled a Diesel Car With Petrol?
Petrol in a diesel vehicle can be more than just an inconvenience. Diesel fuel provides lubrication for components within the diesel fuel system, whereas petrol has very different properties.
If the engine is started, the petrol/diesel mixture can be circulated through the fuel pump, fuel lines and injectors. This is why not starting the vehicle after misfuelling is so important.
If you've already driven the vehicle, don't panic. Contact Rapid Fuel Rescue and we can assess the situation and advise you on the appropriate next step.
What Should You Do After Putting Petrol in Diesel?
If you've just realised your mistake in Tiverton, take the following steps:
- Stop adding fuel immediately.
- Do not start the engine.
- If you're at a petrol station, tell the staff what has happened.
- If safe, move the vehicle to a suitable location without starting it.
- Call Rapid Fuel Rescue for assistance.
The less contaminated fuel that is circulated around the system, the better.

Already Driven After Putting Petrol in Diesel?
If you've driven away before noticing the mistake, switch the engine off as soon as it is safe to do so.
The fact that the vehicle has been driven does not automatically mean that major damage has occurred. However, continuing to drive increases the amount of contaminated fuel passing through the fuel system.
We'll ask you what happened, including how far the vehicle was driven and how it was running, before determining what assistance is required.
The majority of vehicles can be rectified roadside.
